My eldest will be off to uni in October and I'm going to miss him but am also so excited for his next stage of life. Plus I'm looking forward to visiting him at uni if he lets me! He has really grown up since BD, I know it's been harder for him than for youngest, but I think this is a time of great change for them anyway as they approach the final years of school and get girlfriends and jobs and other responsibilities, and he has really stepped up to these responsibilities.
I hope your H does start to take better care of himself, for everyone's sake. As you know, this is my H's main downfall, maybe because he feels unworthy of anyone's care, including his own. Well done to you for being assertive. I don't see H enough to be consistently assertive, but it's something I work on with others all the time and I know how hard it is... I see a bright future for you Alison
